Arabic, Hebrew, Thai and Hindi Support in IBM's Java2

The Java2 platform provides the foundation for supporting a wide variety
languages and customs. Text is represented with the Unicode character set,
which covers most scripts in use today. Additionally, Java2 provides
services for localized text processing, orientation of components in a user
interface, and a rich set of capabilities for displaying and interacting
with visually complex text. This talk describes how IBM's forthcoming
release of the Java2 platform supports right-to-left scripts such as Arabic
and Hebrew, Thai, and the Devanagari writing system, used to write Hindi.

When the world wants to talk, it speaks Unicode
